Even greater nutritional care for mother and baby
Pregnacare® Plus combines the original Pregnacare® tablet formula, the leading supplement in pregnancy care, with high quality Omega-3 (DHA 300mg) capsules, in a convenient 2-in-1 pack, for use throughout pregnancy.
Pregnacare® multi-nutrient tablets
Each tablet provides a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals including the exact recommended levels of 400µg folic acid and 10µg vitamin D.
Supplemental folic acid 2 intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.
Moderate iron and vitamins B6 and B12 which contribute to normal red blood cell formation.
Nutritional tablets produced in Britain to high GMP 3 quality.
High purity Omega-3 capsules
Research increasingly shows the importance of Essential Fatty Acids such as DHA in the development of babies and infants.
Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the eye & brain of the foetus1.
Each capsule provides 300mg DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), a level recommended by many international experts 4 (ISSFAL).
Fish oil produced to high GMP 3 quality.
Pregnacare® Tablets - daily support without excessive levels

This comprehensive formula replaces other Pregnacare® supplements and multivitamins.
There is no need for an additional multivitamin.
The UK Department of Health recommends all pregnant and breastfeeding women should take a daily supplement containing 10µg of Vitamin D.
Pregnacare® does not contain vitamin A, as high levels are not advised in pregnancy.
